The Minoan eruption of Santorini was a large-magnitude natural event. However, in terms of scale it ranks smaller in erupted volume and eruptive intensity than the historical eruption of Tambora in 1815 AD, and smaller in sulphur emission and, by inference, climatic effects than both the Tambora and Mt. Pinatubo, 1991, eruptions.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For the band, see Linea Aspera (band) . The linea aspera (Latin: rough line) is a ridge of roughened surface on the posterior surface of the femur, to which are attached muscles and intermuscular septum.Its margins diverge above and below. number of muscles attach to the linea aspera: 1  From the medial lip of the linea aspera and its prolongations above and below, the vastus medialis originates. 2  From the lateral lip and its upward prolongation, the vastus lateralis takes origin.
Most skeletal muscles are attached to bone or cartilage by a tendon, aponeurosis, or by direct attachment. Tendon attachment is by far the most important and is present wherever the point of insertion is distant or the muscle must exert its forces of contraction across a joint.he tensile strength of tendon is similar to that of bone and is much in excess of ordinary demand. A tendon of cross-sectional area of 1 cm will support 600 kg to 1000 kg. Tendons have slightly extensile and elastic properties.
